IMPROVED'DASH-BOARD FOR GARRIAGES.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: v

Be it known that We, WILLIAM FRANKLIN and 'l. M. SMITH, of East Randolph, in thccounty of Oattaraugus, and in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Dash for Vehicles and we do hereby declare thatvthe following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, anal the letters of reference marked thereon. I

In the annexed drawings, making a. part of this specification, A represents .a. metallic dash-board for buggies and carriages. The dash-board is made of any kind of sheet metal, and then painted and varnished as the balance of'the vehicle.

This metallic (lasher is cut out in any desired form, and then riveted to a half round metallic rod, which is bent into a suitable and ordinary frime, B, or may be riveted between two of such frames, the faces thereof coming together and thereby making the frame-rod round, or nearly so. The two (lash-sections A A, are secured in e. groove in the frame B, and after being so placed can be readily taken therefrom whenever desired. H 11 represent the metallic plates, which project below the dash, and by which means 'it is secured to the vehicle.

What we claim is, the grooved frame 13, With its plates A A, and connecting-pieces H H, when constructed substantially as specified. I

In testimony that we claim the foregoing, we have hereunto set our hands, this 28th day of January, 1868.
